The Full List of Canadian Record Stores Celebrating Record Store Day Black Friday 2024

Black Friday might be tied to American Thanksgiving, but it's becoming a major thing here in Canada, especially for record lovers. Record Store Day (RSD) now uses Black Friday as its second big date of the year, offering exclusive records for music lovers at brick-and-mortar record shops across Canada . As the day inches closer on Nov. 24, the official list of stores participating has been released, which includes many in Edmonton, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg, Halifax and more.

Exclusive releases include Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark Demos, Turnstile and BadBadNotGood's collaborative EP New Heart Designs and Nas’s I Am… The Autobiography. Anniversary reissues include Willie Nelson’s Shotgun Willie (50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition), War’s World Is A Ghetto (50th Anniversary Collector’s Edition) and The Chronic (30-Year Anniversary Edition) by Dr. Dre. Not every store will have every release, so it's best to call ahead to see what each store is stocking. But the list has a lot to excite most collectors.

It even goes behind permanent record stores to record labels. Toronto indie label Dine Alone Records is hosting a Black Friday event at its Dine Alone Store at 864 Eastern Ave., which includes exclusives like Say Anything’s Baseball on Hot Pink vinyl, Moneen's Are We Really Happy with Who We Are Right Now Cloud vinyl and "warehouse finds" vinyl including titles from City and Colour, The Dirty Nil and Counterparts.
